How to Safely Store Memories Online

We live in an era where our most precious memories are often stored as 1s and 0s. But hard drives fail, phones get lost, and social media platforms can shut down.

Ensuring that your digital legacy is safe requires more than just a "save" button. It requires a strategy.

The 3-2-1 Backup Rule

The gold standard for digital preservation is the 3-2-1 rule:

  • 3 Copies: Keep three copies of any important file.
  • 2 Different Media: Store them on two different types of storage (e.g., your computer and an external hard drive).
  • 1 Offsite: Keep one copy in a different physical location (e.g., cloud storage).

Choosing the Right Cloud Storage

Want to recreate a loved one’s voice?

EchoAgain helps you preserve and reconnect with the voices that matter most.

Try EchoAgain

Not all clouds are created equal. Look for services that offer:

  • Encryption: To keep your private memories private.
  • Longevity: Companies with a track record of stability.
  • Ease of Access: So you can easily share files with family.

Specialized Storage for Special Memories

For highly sensitive or emotional data, like voice recordings of a late loved one, general cloud storage might feel impersonal.

Services like EchoAgain offer a dedicated, secure environment for audio memories. Not only do we store these precious voice samples safely, but we also use them to create an interactive legacy, ensuring that the file isn't just sitting in a folder, but is available to bring comfort when you need it most.

Digital Estate Planning

Don't forget to designate a "digital heir." Make sure someone you trust has the passwords and access to your digital vaults so that these memories aren't locked away forever.
